People associated with the Department of Human Services-Child Welfare and other community partners helped with DHS
Cabin Fever for Kids. The Feb. 9 event provided indoor fun for area foster kids at the Hermiston Christian School.

COMMUNITY EDITOR
The inaugural DHS
Cabin Fever for Kids event
drifted in just in time, offer-
ing a respite from being
cooped up in the winter
weather.
Coordinated by the
Department of Human Ser-
vices-Child Welfare, the
event was held Saturday
at the Hermiston Chris-
tian School. Marvin Ham-
ilton, a DHS certifier, said
despite the looming snow-
storm, a total of 140 foster
parents, children and volun-
teers enjoyed the activities.
The free event was a
group effort, Hamilton said.
Buttercreek Boys
postpone February
rehearsal
The February rehearsal
meeting of the Buttercreek
Boys has been postponed.
The group of seasoned
musicians strum up old-time
music the second Wednes-
day of each month from
6-7:30 p.m. at Chuckwagon
Cafe, 81027 Highway 395
North, Hermiston. There is
no cover charge. However,
due to inclement weather,
this month’s event is on
hold. The cafe will close at
its regular time of 2 p.m.
For more information,
call the cafe at 541-567-

The Arc
reschedules dance
With the recent winter
conditions, The Arc Uma-
tilla County postponed its
annual valentine event.
The Arc Valentine’s
In addition to DHS staff,
community partners, youth
groups and foster parents
helped in making Cabin
Fever for Kids a success.
Money for the event, Ham-
ilton said, was provided
by community partners,
area businesses, donations
and fundraisers, includ-
ing a spring horse raffle
for Brando, held this past
summer.
“We at DHS were very
happy to have the support of
the community and to either
show up and put together a
booth or sponsor an obsta-
cle course,” Hamilton said.
The day’s activities
included a trio of booths
manned by the OSU Exten-
sion Office. They provided
educational
information
about entomology and agri-
culture. In addition, James
“Snake Guy” McKnight
and his 4-and-one-half-foot
python were quite popu-
lar. Staff from the Hermis-
ton Goodwill store tossed
in some extra fun with a
bean bag toss activity. Also,
the 2019 Umatilla County
Fair court — Nive Ham-
ilton, 15, Kyleigh Sepul-
veda, 16, both of Hermis-
ton, and Madison Pryor, 15,
of Pendleton — wrangled
in fun with Hidalgo, Bran-
do’s bouncy spring horse
brother.
Other activities provided
by DHS included a bouncy
house and face paint-
ing. Also, youth groups
from Living Faith Church
and The Country Church
helped out. A 60-foot inflat-
able obstacle course spon-
sored by Tom Denchel Ford
Country of Hermiston also
was popular.
The Department of
Human Services plans on
organizing additional activ-
ities in the future for area
foster children, as well as
awareness and recruitment
events. For more infor-
mation, including how to
get involved in upcoming
events, contact Hamilton

Much has changed
since 1961 when the
Columbia River Treaty
was drafted. New politics,
technology, environmental
and agricultural uses for
water and many more con-
cerns have made the origi-

lete. This May, Canada

arranged to meet in Wash-

ate the Columbia River
Treaty.
